An expat destination

Singapore’s growth mindset is alluring to those who want to grow in their career and live a comfortable life. With high-quality education and amenities, foreigners find it easy to raise children here. Also, the city offers a varied range of accommodation options, including Connect@Changi.

Cost of living

temporary stay in Singapore doesn’t cost you much, but Singapore is one of the most expensive destinations in the world. Food is quite inexpensive, especially because there are hawker centres, but rent is the highest cost of living here.

Language

Singapore’s community is multi-lingual, but everyone here speaks good English. There’s also a dialect called Singlish, which could be hard to grasp.

Climate

Being a city positioned close to the equator, Singapore experiences a tropical climate with bouts of rainfall throughout the year. If you don’t take well to heat, steer clear of the eastern part of the city.
